CHRISTIAN CARTOONS 



THESE cartoons are selected from over three hundred which have 
been appearing during more than six years in The Sunday School 
Times; and a new one each week appears in that journal. They are 
also furnished in lantern slides by The George W. Bond Slide Com- 
pany, 6 East Lake Street, Chicago, from whom slides may be either 
bought or rented. The cartoon, "No Middle Ground — Only a Chasm," 
is reprinted by courtesy of The Moody Bible Institute Monthly. 

The message of each cartoon is independent, and the collection may 
be used without reference to any sequence in the series. But if one 
wishes to make these cartoons the basis of progressive study or teach- 
ing, it will be found that they have been grouped together, in this book, 
as follows : 

Emphasizing first the supreme value of God's Word and the im- 
portance of Bible study, the simple truths of the Gospel are then in- 
troduced, showing that there is salvation through Christ only, and that 
neither character nor education, feelings nor fitness. Christian Science, 
civilization, nor even prohibition, are in any way sufficient. All men are 
sinners, but there is salvation for all through the shed blood of Christ 
and that alone. 

In contrast there follow pictures for leaders who do not teach this, 
warnings concerning worldliness, and the mirror is held up to the various 
faults of men. But there is forgiveness, and there follow the precious 
lessons of faith, prayer, and obedience. Powerful messages on soul-win- 
ning, the call of missions, the Victorious Life, and the Second Coming 
of Christ complete the series. 

That these cartoons may continue to be of rich blessing as they 
now appear in more permanent book form is the earnest prayer of the 
author and publishers.

1SET APART this day (or fasting and prayer 
to God for His Grace. In the forenoon I felt 
the power of intercession for precious immortal! 
souls; for the advancement of the kingdom of 
my dear Lord and Savior in the world; . '. . . 
and had special enlargement in pleading for the 
enlightening and conversion of the poor heathen. 
In the afternoon God was with me of a truth. 
Oh, it was blessed company indeed! God en- 
abled me so to agonize in prayer that I was quite 
wet with sweat, though in the shade and the cool 
wind. My soul was drawn out very much for 
the world; I grasped for multitudes of tools. 
I think I had more enlargement for sinners than 
for the children of God; though I felt as if I could 
spend my life in cries for both. I had great en- 
joyment in communion with my dear Savior. 
I think I never in my life felt such an entire 
weanedness from this world, and so much re- 
signed to God in everything. Oh, that 1 may 
always live to and upon my blessed God! 
Amen, Amen." 



"In the afternoon I preached to the Indians, and 
was favored with uncommon freedom in my dis- 
course. There was much visible concern among 
them, while I was discoursing publicly; but after- 
wards, when I spoke to one and another more 
particularly, whom I perceived under much con- 
cern, the power of God seemed to descend upon 
the assembly 'like a mighty rushing wind,' and 
with an astonishing energy bore down all before 
it. I stood amazed at the influence, which seized 
the audience almost universally; and could com- 
pare it to nothing more aptly, than the irresist- 
ible force of a mighty torrent or swelling deluge 
that with its insupportable weight and pressure 
bears down and sweeps before it whatever 
comes in its way. Almost all persons of all ages 
were bowed down with concern together, and 
scarcely one was able to withstand the shock ot 
this surprising operation. Old men and women, 
who had been drunken wretches for many years 
appeared in distress for their souls, etc"
